‘I did nine months of just training, training, and three months of stunt training with the stunt team where we spent two hours every day, five days a week,’ she said.

‘It wasn’t until we started shooting and I started doing all my own wirework, stunts and flips and stuff that people were like, “You know, nobody… now we’ll tell you; nobody actually does this.” I was like, “Huh.” But I love it.’

Speaking to Collider, she added: ‘It definitely makes things more complicated in certain ways because I can be taking a lot more naps than I am.’

Marvel bosses have been as tight-lipped as ever about what we can expect, although president Kevin Feige teased: ‘Brie Larson does a tremendous job. Sam Jackson is a very different version of Nick Fury, does an amazing job, the entire cast — this one is very different and very exciting.’

We could not be more ready for some major girl power in the MCU.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Brie for comment.
